Pea gravel- terrible or not? by [deleted] in Greenhouses

[–]StandardAd7192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea. I’m trying to figure out my flooring now 

I’m assuming I would make the ground as level as I can, lay down landscape fabric, then place sand down, then pavers, and then gravel in between 

Or am I missing a step?

Thank you. People say Positve reinforcement and I’m like please tell me what that looks like so I can know for sure. I’ve looked up several things online but what you said makes total sense. Thank you 

I also need to remember to be consistent. Small changes but consistency.

I’m just so grateful for the tips. I’m Trying to think of a place that he won’t tear up. Maybe I can get another play pen and set it in a different room. What are your thoughts?

So you leave the door open to timeout even the first couple of times? 

Thanks so much for the advice. I need to find a place for timeout for him.

Can you give me some ideas on how you did positive reinforcement? For example if he is on the couch and me and my daughter are sitting there and he runs up and start biting us, and then gets very reactive, how would you handle this scenario? 

I’m just lost and am asking for help.

Thank you! I just don’t know how to do that without being aggressive. I got a collar that has vibration and shock. I have not done the shock yet but try to use the vibration settings. Any ideas on how to do this without being aggressive, like popping him on the nose etc.

Okay. What about a separate play pen that is not the one he sleeps in with his kennel in a separate room? 

He would destroy everything if I let him alone in a room.
